Additional Details:
The year 1959 marks the 26th anniversary of Ma's and Pa's Place, US 91 (Salt Lake-Ogden Highway) Roy, Utah. Under the same management - Verdi L. Pingree and Wife. Starting with a kitchen 12x14 and serving under an old time bowery with a seating capacity of thirty, Dorthea, Maxine, Lucile, Joyce, Wallace, Carl, and James (Ma's and Pa's family) all shared the work. We now have four spacious dining rooms, seating from 75 to 300 people and a coffee shop, seating 60. The dining rooms upstairs are the beautiful Hawaiian Room with murals of Hawaii, and the Parisian Room with murals of Paris. The Anniversary Room with king-size reproduction of Gainsborough's Blue Boy and Pinky, by Sir Thomas Lawrence, painted by our son Carl L. Pingree, and our beautifull large dining room with his oil paintings, which are for sale, and the large flagstone fireplace, stones (gathered from eight different quarries) which are 1/2 inch square to 6 inches by 3 feet long, showing all colors found in the Grand Canyon. Now Wallace, Carl and James are the chefs and pride themselves on the cleanliness and homey atmosphere of the place. Ma playing Solo Vox and piano for dinner music and jovial Pa overlooking it all, makes this place a memory that will stay with you
